The CDIO Initiative is an international collaboration to reform engineering programs of participating institutions.
The University of Pretoria is a new member to CDIO but not new to engineering education.
This report is presents the findings from an examination of several project-based courses at three universities in Sweden and one in the United States.
In January 2001, a national programme for quality assurance was introduced, with the Agency evaluating subjects and programmes.
In the MIT Mechanical Engineering course, Introduction to Design and Manufacturing (2.007), students learn Deterministic Design, a design process similar to the scientific method approach to solvin
Interest in problem-based learning arose in higher education in response to criticism that programs in professional areas, e.g., medicine, engineering, failed to equip graduates with the problem-so
Problem-based learning is now a widespread teaching method in disciplines where students must learn to apply knowledge, not just acquire it.
In the mechanical engineering area the Department of Manufacturing Engineering and Management and the Department of Mechanical Engineering deliver the technical courses for the Bachelor education (
Projects in which students design, build and test a device are increasingly being used in education. In this paper, a number of design-build-test-based project courses are analyzed.
In October 2000, with support from the Wallenberg Foundation, four universities launched an international collaboration designed to improve undergraduate engineering education in Sweden, the United
Integrated assessment of functional disciplinary knowledge and personal and interpersonal performance is discussed in the context of a final-year design-build course.
To prepare our students for the knowledge economy, a new education model which aims to provide our students with a more balanced and holistic education integrating the teaching of (i) domain knowle
